You probably picked up this book because shame hurts. In his decades of experience as a therapist and mindfulness expert, Christopher Germer has learned how truly devastating this emotion can be. But Dr. Germer has also developed a powerful approach to healing. This wise, encouraging book guides you to understand how shame constricts your life and take concrete steps to break free. Research has demonstrated over and over that as self-compassion increases, shame decreases. Based on Dr. Germer's renowned Self-Compassion for Shame course, the book is chock-full of stories, reflections, “Try This” exercises, and guided practices, including audio tracks at the companion website. Work through the 21 concise chapters at your own pace--and use the practices on the spot whenever you feel shame in daily life.
